How to Remove Dry Erase Marker

Malea loves the dry erase desktop I made her last year! She colors on it all the time but sometimes she forgets to wipe it off and after a few days the ink doesn’t wipe right off like it does when it’s fresh. Luckily there is a super simple solution for how to remove dry erase marker.

Rubbing alcohol.

All you have to do is pour some rubbing alcohol on a tissue and wipe off the desktop. The ink will come right up.

If the surface is completely covered in ink, you might have to do it a couple times but when you’re done the surface will be sparkly white again!

I’m so sorry I’m just getting back to you about this! I have been so crazy this summer and I’m way behind on returning comments. I hope I’m not too late but I would say do not use the rubbing alcohol on the walls because it will take your paint off! I would try hydrogen peroxide or vinegar instead. Baby wipes also work.

That’s awesome! I got tired of cleaning markers off everything. So I coated every possible surface my kids can scribble on with drawitpaint whiteboard paint. it gives it a shiny coat so it always looks clean and happens to be very easy to clean.
